Delta of Venus makes a bold and haunting entrance with their debut double A-side single, ”Disengaged b/w Slipping” a sonic and visual experience that transcends genre and expectation. Based in Mystic, CT, the band’s ethereal blend of indie pop and shoegaze finds new narrative depth through a music video that reimagines Joan of Arc as a modern symbol of feminine resistance.
Directed and styled by Mystic photographer Michelle Gemma, the long-form video breathes cinematic life into the songs, with lush imagery and a palpable sense of mysticism. Issy’s vocals float like a ghost through shimmering guitar lines by Ellery Twining, while Mat Tarbox’s sequencer programming and bass provide a hypnotic pulse. Drummer Shawn Fake anchors the atmosphere with steady, restrained power, completing a sound that’s both nostalgic and strikingly contemporary.
The project is more than a release—it’s a vision. From the concept by Royal Young to the editing by James Canty, and the rich production by Eric M. Lichter at Dirt Floor Studio, ”Disengaged b/w Slipping” introduces Delta of Venus not just as musicians, but as storytellers. It’s a debut that demands attention—and rewards it with beauty, depth, and originality.
